if I get a kybella treatment will I notice any results right away, and also how long would the recovery period and downtime be?

Kybella is a non-surgical intervention which uses a purified form of a medication that dissolves fat under the chin. The results are slow and not immediate, but people love to do it because it requires no surgery or anesthesia risks. Our patients swell up for 3 days to a week and then look better. The fat shrinks slowly and all patients require a repeat treatment at 6 to 8 weeks. After two or three treatments, is when you can see most results.
Always find an experienced injector for this procedure.

Hello Jessica,  Kybella is a phenomenal treatment but it takes time to see results, usually 6-8 weeks as the body needs time to remove the fat and heal from the treatment. You should aim for about 1 week of downtime ( neck swelling /possible bruising). It feels weird but you can still go to work ad have no physical restrictions.  I don't know how much fat your neck has or how large the area is, but Kybella is usually performed as a series of treatments. on Average 2-4 treatments are needed to see results. Hope this helps, Best, Dr.Avaliani
